pclaes Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Hey, On June 3rd I will be teaching an advanced Houdini masterclass at the Effects America conference in Montreal. I will be covering growth systems. Should be good fun: https://www.effects-events.com/en/master-classes/ Description: During this advanced Houdini masterclass you will learn how to create an art-directable growth system. Digitally constructing things can be as challenging if not more challenging than destruction, this class will focus on the former. The class is split into two main sections. The first section of the class will dive into building the growth solver prototype tool. This covers solvers, some vector math, chaos theory, 2d & 3d growth, custom forces and tool development. The second section of the class dives into using the tools to grow a 2d and 3d pattern that is procedurally animated and prepared for rendering. This covers path finding, procedural animation, combining 2d and 3d patterns, custom attributes and aovs/render passes for comp. Take away: Understand the algorithm and concepts for building a growth solver. Build a user-friendly and efficient tool that can scale from small scale single growth to growing large datasets for entire vfx sequences. Understanding and making use of Houdini’s data acceleration structures. Gaining insight into the art-direction and approval process for both the grown pattern as well as the procedural animation. The audience: This course is intended for intermediate to advanced Houdini users. Users should have a working understanding of the Houdini interface and overall data flow (contexts, attributes, datatypes). Houdini Apprentice can be used for this class. Hope to see you there or perhaps at the conference, Peter Edited May 27, 2019 by pclaes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
